So a couple of bucks is compationate? How easy it is to spend other peoples money, eh? Too bad it doesnt work that way. You and I are paying way more than a couple of bucks. The biggest problem here is that taxes are taken out of your check automatically. You need to feel it go through your fingers. Do the math. First off, the total workforce is only about 125 million < http://www.bls.gov/>. Of those, only the top 50% wage earners (over $32.879) pay about 95% of the taxes (depending on who you ask) < http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=6>. If you look at the tax burden on those that pay <http://www.allegromedia.com/sugi/taxes/> there is not enough to go around. And its not getting any better. I dont know if you have dreams of becoming financially secure one day but if so, I'd be more concerned. I dont know how old you are but I'd guess around 30 or less. My concern is that you'll finally wake up in another 10 years or so when you realize your taxes are so high its not worth working any more. There has been an upward trend of many that feel this way. Who will pay for my social security, medicare, etc then? LOL, they'll force you to work then! We can agree to disagree on this but I want to talk with you in another decade ans see how you feel then. -RickG
